news EXCLUSIVE WITH PHOTOSSOS Wrestles with Film Role...

Irish Champion Heavyweight Wrestler and veritable Man-Mountain Sheamus O'Shaunessy - The Irish Curse (or SOS to his fans) - has landed a film role in the movie 3CROSSES...

SHEAMUS O'SHAUNESSY 'SOS' THE IRISH CURSE

When ShowBiz Ireland tells our readers we may have discovered the "next-big-thing" in this case we really do mean BIG!

SHEAMUS O'SHAUNESSY 'SOS' THE IRISH CURSE

Standing at 6ft 6in and nearly 20 Stone this Celtic Colossus is making the move from the ring to the big-screen to rub shoulders with the likes of Samantha Mumba, Gail Porter, Caprice, Keith Duffy, Jonathan Hyde and Bill Fellows in the most violent and bloody Irish movie ever made...

SHEAMUS O'SHAUNESSY 'SOS' THE IRISH CURSE

And in SOS's case this was really a matter of being in the-right-place-at-the-right-time as he was talent spotted by the Figgis brothers, Jonathan & Jason, who brought their kids along to see him MASH Scotland's Drew Galloway and England's Rage in a grappling event in The Laughter Lounge last month.

SOS @ THE LAUGHTER LOUNGE

During the four hour show the Figgis brothers were bowled over by the spectacle of this Irish hero as he went about the business of entertaining his fans and retaining his IWW Belt as the show was recorded for the Wrestling TV Channel.

After the grappling event SOS was invited for a 3CROSSES screen test and thus immediately offered a role in the movie even though it wrapped a few weeks back!

The Figgis brothers want to set up a fight scene with Sheamus getting badly beaten by one of the movie's main men Hytham Martin (from band Eyesclosed) to emphasise just how dangerous he is. Jonathan Figgis told us: "just the total contrast of a 6ft 6in monster getting the s*** kicked out of him by this violent character will immediately get it across to the audience that this guy means business."

SOS FIGHTS RAGE @ THE LAUGHTER LOUNGE

And SOS couldn't be happier, the Dubliner told ShowBiz Ireland: "the past few months have been unbelievable after years of getting little or no recognition from the media. But word seems to have got out that our shows are a great day-out for all the family and its the fans pushing us on to bigger-and-bigger spectacles."

SOS WITH FAN DANIEL @ THE LAUGHTER LOUNGE

He went on: "I do this because I love it and I am very passionate about it, landing a film role or getting my picture in the paper is a bonus but my one goal is to go all the way to the WWE and represent Ireland all around the world."

And from what we've seen so far we at ShowBiz Ireland recon there's no limit to how far SOS can go and hopefully, in the not-too-distant future, we will he him standing in the ring with the very best wrestlers in the world...

SOS WITH FANS LISA & AARON @ THE LAUGHTER LOUNGE

SOS has just launched his official website: www.sosofficial.com and we urge all our readers to get along to his next big show in the Laughter Lounge on the 18th of June when he will defend his IWW belt against a very famous opponent... Go Sheamus, Go Sheamus...
